More Deception – And The Implications, To Me – are Large

I had noticed something recently while viewing member profiles. Maybe it’s just another website glitch? But I have my doubts about now. In viewing member profiles, I noticed I stopped seeing any, and all references to the last date the member had logged into their account.

A correction here - I know the display of a members join date on the members profile can be turned off by the member, in their account settings. And I know some members do turn off the display of the join date on their profile. But I thought it strange that I was no longer seeing the date of last visit on any profile…

I had also noticed that if someone peaked my interest , I could sent them a flirt, or hotlist them, and their last log-in date would be displayed in the list of profiles in my hotlist, or my flirts sent page.

Today - I notice all references to a members last log-in date – no longer display in either my hotlist, and my flirts sent page…

If this is not just another website glitch - to me, the implications of this are a bit large.

This means to me I will have no idea if a profile is abandoned, or not. if I were to write to a person, to try to contact them – I might well completely wasting all of my time and effort in trying to write them a creative and inviting message…

Not knowing if a profile had basically been abandoned by it’s owner would also help make it look like there are more people on the website – than their really are. But something like this is only more deception, by the parent company of all of the websites they run.

And at my expense, writing to profiles that may be abandoned. This gets more and more worthless, as a possible social website, as time goes on. Excepting the blogs here, of course. About the only place you may have any idea now – if the member is still active on one of the websites...

it is called marketing manipulation , make you keep trying and keep you active when no real profile person exists . bait and switch simple as that . only the chat rooms give any real interaction with some real people, but many are bots too .

Hello young lady, as other have reported this feature did disappear some time back. it still shows on view all top fans I think. Not sure why this was removed as it was a nice tool to be able to tell if some one was active...

It was a month or 2 ago that this disappeared. So did the numer of friends in your list. I sent 2 complaints to Passion.com (japaneseadultgirlfriend.com). I want to know when people were last online. Why bother sending a friend request or message to someone who may not have been on the site for months. I suggest everyone send complaints to Passion/japaneseadultgirlfriend.com.

and in the last few days the "last date for people that flirted and view" one is now gone. So they have made all look the same, cant tell if some on is here or not. Like some of the other antics to create artificial "looking" activity....

Quoting redrockrascal:the last date the member had logged into their account disappeared over a month ago.

Well, I had noticed that. But as late as last night, I was still able to see the date of last log-in by a member - in my hotlist, and on my flirts sent page. Today the members last log-in date is gone from my hotlist, and my flirts sent page.

After the date of last log-in by a member disappeared from the profiles, I had been purposely either sending flirts, or hotlisting the member - just so I could see the date of their last log-in.

Quoting clittywhisperer1:it is called marketing manipulation , make you keep trying and keep you active when no real profile person exists . bait and switch simple as that . only the chat rooms give any real interaction with some real people, but many are bots too .

Marketing? I agree.. But to me, more than just marketing. Absolutely deception. Lots of people that have been on here abandon their profile. You used to be able to see that when you viewed profiles. And I mean a very high percentage of profiles on the website showed the person had not logged-in months, and some not for years..

This means viewing profile looking for someone of interest - will be pretty much useless now. Because there will be a very high percentage chance you would be trying to contact someone that has abandoned their profile here. And this is on top of the percentage of people that just won't bother to answer anyway.

It's starting to look like why bother with anything - other than a free membership, and the blogs...

On Friend Finder Networks, because they will keep abandoned profiles for years, to keep the member numbers high - it wasn't just a nice tool, it was a necessary tool!

To help keep you from completely wasting your time and effort - writing to abandoned profiles.. If you were ever going to try to contact anyone of interest to you.. As you might, on any kind of social website..

Quoting lonlyforlove2:and in the last few days the "last date for people that flirted and view" one is now gone. So they have made all look the same, cant tell if some on is here or not. Like some of the other antics to create artificial "looking" activity....

A thought I've had for a while, about that artificial "looking" activity. You all, the men on the companies websites - you all have been targeted. Especially those gullible enough to believe all the artificial "looking" activity they receive on this companies websites.

So many accusations have flown about scammers on this website, and I know there are a lot of them. Some of the scammers never seemed to get the recognition they deserved though - anyone using lies and deception for their personal gain. And on this companies websites, more often than not - it's about something other than money.

The artificial "looking" activity? That is about money though.. But guess whom the scammer is this time though...

And not knowing if a member is actually active, or not - it's in the same vain..

I may be wrong. Back when I joined a member could turn off the day they joined, but the not the last day they visit the site. Not trying to say you are wrong or debate the issue. I am in totally in agreement on what you posted.

Msmealsonheels replies on 4/29/2019 9:35 pm: You are correct - I am corrected. It's the join date that could be turned off by the member.. Not the last visit date.

This is a way to hide the millions of profiles that have not been active for greater than 3 months. This is japaneseadultgirlfriend.com way of hiding the real truth to the new costumer. For example. Why would some one join a site or renew their membership once they figured out that the majority of profiles that are not active.

Unfortunately your concerns which were valid for the paying costumer were totally ignored and brushed to the side.

japaneseadultgirlfriend.com does not currently do anything to delete those inactive profiles or fix glitches to make this a more user friendly site. It sucks.

They only way to respond to there response to your concerns is not to renew.

People already voice their frustration using blogs when people reach out to other members via email and don't get a response.

Members are going to get more frustrated now. People try and reach out to another via email and not getting a response. It would save an attempt if the sending member knew if the other member is currently active, and there is a remote chance they will get a response. Most likely the member didn't respond because the profile has been inactive for greater than a month or more. what the fuck is japaneseadultgirlfriend.com thinking.

I don't generally approach someone unless REALLY interested or they have e-mailed me before. BUT my advice to you, "test the waters" send a small hello "how are you", "are you available", or "are you interested" etc something like that. This way you don't waste your time, or get "invested" in someone who isn't even a member anymore or who has abandoned their profile.

I noticed it as well a while ago but I do not message any man first as a rule.. It is the other way around.. It would be nice though for japaneseadultgirlfriend.com to put on again when they last logged on as it let us know they were still active...

Most members state in their profile that they will not respond to one liners as you have suggested. Maybe for the female you will get a response. Males don't have the luxury as their counterpart.

The ability to arrange search results by Distance/Last Visit/Newest Members at the top of the search area is still available, but the date itself will no longer be displayed.

So we searched our area for potential members for a possible meeting. Only wanted to search the ones who had been on the last day or two. Found it very frustrating not know when to stop clicking next to stop our search.

Why even have the last visit as a choice in the drop box. I just don't understand their rationale for doing this. They should build a program so the member has the option, not japaneseadultgirlfriend.com if the member wants to be shown their last visit. They have an option available for date joined for the member to decide if they want it shown.

Good Morning, I wrote a Post about this back in February. "WTF is this Site doing? This morning I searched members near me, suffice to say I was extremely surprised to see nearly 60 members in my local area!!

However on further investigation, there were some in there that I knew from previous searches hadn't been online for more than 3 months! On checking the profiles, they only had Joined Dates, the Last Visit Dates were all missing!I cannot search by Last visit within 3 days etc. that has also disappeared! The only way to see current local members, is to search members online.

Yet another cynical attempt by japaneseadultgirlfriend.com, to try to Con Members into thinking there are more local members, than are actually there"

I would rather chose someone of interest to me - rather than wait to be chosen by someone that is not really of interest to me.

If I knew that a member had not logged-in in nearly 3-monthes or so, I have sent a one-liner before, asking if they were still watching their mailbox here. There will be no way to tell now though, how long it's been, since someone logged-in to their profile.

I have a hard time sending one-liners though. I know one-liners are less likely to be responded to. I know I don't view one-liners all that favorably, when I receive them.

If you never send a man a message first, then this change in the website may never effect you. I would rather have a choice in a man that I think could be of deeper interest to me though. Honestly, there are a lot of men on here that I'm not really interested in.

I have a feeling the last log-in date will never return to the profiles though. When someone views profiles, actually seeing that so many members haven';t logged into the website - in months, or years... That would ruin the illusion, and the promise of the illusion - the parent company wishes to create on all of their websites. That all of the profiles on the website are real and active members.

It doesn't have to be real - it only needs to look like it could be real.....

After writing about this a bit now, I think I understand.. The rationale for making this change in the member profiles, removing the last log-in date - is to help create an illusion. Especially for new and non-paid standard members.

To help create the illusion that there are many more active members on the website - than there actually are. The member profiles don't need to actually be real and active members - they only need to look like they could be...

Maybe it's a bit like men's profiles that have the marital status omitted... Unless you know up front to look for something - seeing something that isn't there can be a little more difficult to do....

I feel your Frustration

My first thought was deception. I still see that, but now the word illusion is included in my feelings of the changes made to the website. And I feel this deception, and the illusion it helps create - is focused at new members, and especially potential new members.

The member profiles on their websites don't have to actually be real, and active members on the websites - they really only need to look like they could be....

And seeing that a member hasn't been active for months, or even years... Well, that would ruin the illusion...

Hey Darlin,..........This place is Notorious for not only using outdated profiles of people who haven’t been here in years,.........They also send out fake flirts and a whole host of other nonsense,........That’s why I’m here to blog only,...........Sinfully Yours, backpocket13

Let's see.. Make such promises for the website members right on the landing page of the website - essentially promising the viewer that the members of the website are going to want to have sex with them...

Bombarding new members with fake generated website email messages, and paid for ambassador contact messages...

Fake profile view messages..

Flirts, and what all else???

And now going out of their way to hide the fact a profile may be inactive, or even abandoned for more than a year...

I admit I was a bit upset at first. Because the most recent changes will effect the way I had been using the website. Looking at things now though, there could be more to what's going on.. There just might be a part-two to this blog post..

NOW you see why most of us men send SHORT messages. Women say its because we arent using our brains, but our dicks. Some times.. yeah. that is true. But most of us men here would send 1-2 paragraph messages being COURTEOUS, RESPECTFUL, and even using spell check... all to never get a response. Or have the next blog response be"Where are the COURTEOUS, RESPECTFUL men that can spell..?"

Quoting GangBangMemphis:The "nearby" search is totally worthless if I can't eliminate the people who haven't been on in weeks or months or years. Goodbye nearby.

The websites Friend Finder Networks operates becomes more useless for what they portray the websites to be. It's like the direction is to be more like just a visual website. Sort of like some kind of porn website, where people may come to look around to see what appears to be what might be.

I suppose to each, their own. About the only time I ever sent a short introductory message to anyone - was when I could see that they had not been active on the website for quite some time. And then it was usually to just ask them if they were still watching this mailbox of theirs.

That information - the date they were last active on the website - will be hidden now. Likely, how this change will impact me, is it will be much less frequently that I take a chance, and attempt to contact someone that seems they might be someone who could be of deeper interest to me.

Generally, at least on here - an introductory message to someone is met with silence. And it doesn't seem to matter how much content you write in that introductory message. That's just the way it is, and for many or most people - I expect that to only get worst... Now that people will have no idea if a profile is actually inactive, or was abandoned years ago...

My biggest problem with the site at the moment is when using IM, you tap the button to bring up the message and instead of getting the message you get a screen that asks if you want to be a paying member, then when you try to get back to the message it gets deleted before you can read it.

Well, at first I wasn't sure if it was a glitch or not. I understand glitches will happen.

But no, what I spoke of is -NOT- a glitch. It appears to me - to be a deliberate change to Friend Finder Networks websites to deceive and hide the fact that a members profile you may be looking at - is actually an inactive and/or abandoned profile.

Or in other words - it doesn't have to be real - it only needs to look like it could be..

Quoting David20180101:I so very strongly agree. Last visit date is essential for deciding whether or not to send a message.

Well, that's information that will be hidden from you from now on.. So you take a chance.. So if you write a good and personal introduction message, and if the profile happened to be abandoned, you will just be wasting your time..

From viewing profiles in the past, and seeing the member join date, and the last visit date - I can tell you that some people will make a profile, use it the one time - and then never come back..
